How to disable ASUS dual lighting on RX6700XT?

[winterwonderland]

This light is annoying for me, so I want to disable/turn it off:

(this is just an illustration to show the light I am talking about)

The suggested apps doesn't work for this specific card, so I will have to manually remove it, and I am supposed to remove some sort of a cable in order to do so, but which cable would that be on my PC? Here's a photo of it:


Any suggestions?

There's three ways:
A (elegant but very tedious and probably costs you the warrnaty or will also cost you money): disassemble the card, find out where the circuit exactly is and either disrupt it yourself or ask a professional techie to solve this problem.
B (not elegant at all but only costs you warranty and a couple minutes of time): rip the lighting off.
C (only costs you time, money and effort): sell this GPU and buy one without lighting.

Ok, so I will then go for option no. 4: black electrical tape over it.......

Such a bummer that there is no function to shut these nonsense stuff off, though. :/

electrical tape

You mean, duct tape? Also works.

My ASRock B570 and its non-configurable supernovae bright RGB can be disabled/enabled by pulling the power lead for the lighting.
Some cards, the power lead for the lighting can be pulled/re-inserted w/o disassembly.

Check the inside-end of the card (opposite of the video outs), you might be able to ID and carefully 'pull' the lead for the lighting (non-destructively).

Edit:
The plug is EXTREMELY easy to get to.

I'd say "make sure you figure out the right one", but they're so easy to get to, I'd take the 50/50.
Worst case, you can easily plug it back in, and remove the other.

Edit 2:
the 4-pin connection, is the lighting. The 5-pin are the fans.

Try openRGB, used it to stop the stupid gskill led's from coming on.
I could save the setting to the ram, so that even with a fresh reinstall of windows, the rgb will still be off instead of the default rainbow puke.

Considering, that those lights are connected w/ a 4-pin lead, SignalRGB or OpenRGB might find an on-card controller for the lighting.
That said, OP is not the first one with this precise issue, w/ this precise card. I'm doubtful that it really has user-controllable RGB

on a different note, your gpu is sagging a lot… I hope you put a support bracket on it… asap.. hope you get the led disabled after

On a hunch, I recently discovered that you can (largely, not entirely) de-warp GPUs by using them in an inverted PC chassis (either, by-design, or just flip over a 'normal' build) for a few days-week+.

In the last 6mo I've 'repaired' 3 warped cards (RX6900XT, HD7970, HD7870) by just 'using' them for a few days a piece, in an upside down case.
After the 'de-warp', make sure to install a support of some kind. Otherwise, you'll've effectively 'bent back and forth' every single solderjoint on the card; severely reducing the lifespan of the card.

Yes noticed that before the LED the OP was talking about.

I bought an Asus 6750 XT Dual OC when they released and the first thing I did after getting it out of the box was disconnecting the RGB cable on the card. This is a very easy job to do! You just need to unscrew the shroud. The shroud is not attached to the heatsink, so no need to worry. It's just 7 screws, 5 from the back of the card and 2 from the GPU bracket. Just make sure you don't disconnect the fans.

How do I de-sag the gpu then? :O Whatever I do, it seems to be stuck like that. I take it off and place it in again, and it is the same.... I do not wish to de-warp the case, so that is why I am asking.

Hehe, thanks for the tip! I will see if I will do that or the tape-method.

Just place anything stiff enough beneath the lower end of the GPU and it's alright:

I leveled a sagging GPU by lifting the low corner up to level, then cutting a wooden chopstick to length & using it as a support.

There are more aesthetically pleasing solutions, but the chopstick was quick, easy and free.

There is a small led light on my DS5 controller, with openrgb I can turn it on or off.
There isn't any harm for for the OP just to install the software and check if there is a hidden controller for it.

LIke I said, openrgb allowed me to write to the Gskill controller to keep the rgb's off when the system restarted, so I didn't need any stupid software to start with my PC.
Just to turn the led's off.

Like the others said, some thing to support the corner of the GPU.

I use some thing like this.
